Alexi Murdoch歌手简介:
Alexi Murdoch is a London-born, Scottish-bred, singer/songwriter. His self-published EP, Four Songs (EP), was released in 2002. One song from the album, “Orange Sky,” grew in popularity because it was featured in the movie Garden State (but was not released on the soundtrack). It was later featured in the movie Ladder 49, in an episode of Dawson’s Creek, an episode of Fox’s “The O.C. “, a popular show known for its music, and an episode of Fox’s Prison Break, and also in an episode of Fox’s House. It has also been featured in commercials for the Honda Element as well as Hallmark Cards. It was used again in the trailer for the Warner Independent film Paradise Now in 2005. Director Josh Lowell also used it for several sequences in the climbing video Pilgrimage featuring Chris Sharma. The true oddity of the song “Orange Sky” and its success is the length; coming in at over 6 minutes long. In an interview, Alexi said when he took his music to a record company that the record company guy popped the disc into his computer rather than a stereo and then proceeded to stare at the counter on the screen waiting to see how long it took to get to the chorus, et cetera. This is when he supposedly knew he had to go the indie route.
The album Four Songs includes “Orange Sky”, “It’s Only Fear”, “Blue Mind” and “Song for You”.
到现在，Alexi Murdoch也算不得大红大紫，即使他那首Orange Sky因为先后被电影Garden State、电视剧《桔子郡男孩》和《越狱》选用而广受欢迎。
　　Alexi Murdoch原籍苏格兰，在唱了多年的英式民谣之后，于90年代末期移居洛杉矶，开始受到Indie和Lo-Fi等音乐元素的影响。由于不愿破坏自己特有的曲风，他最初只是在小型的音乐聚会上演唱。直到2003年九月，他的演出通过洛杉矶一家电台播出，他那温柔、迟疑的嗓音和轻描淡写般的吉他在听众中造成了巨大的反响。2004年，他在Sundance电影节上演唱Orange Sky，令在场观众潸然泪下。
　　这张Time Without Consequence是他录制的第一张大碟，之前仅有过一张EP，名字也很直率：Four Songs
　　第一次听到Orange Sky，是在《越狱》中Michael将被转送的那场戏。这首描写手足之情的歌用在这里实在太合适了：Michael和Lincoln隔着铁丝网互相对视，只听着Alexi一遍遍地哼着In your love, my salvation lies in your love，道尽了兄弟俩那种无奈和凄凉。
